Post by: EsDoc on June 07, 2005, 10:51:47 PM: Good idea Richard,

may I recruit them into my 2nd regt. of grenadiers à pied Gaius? ;)

Nice to see you building napoleonics too :D

When you're going to make an entire regt. how many figures will that be?

Post by: GaiusIulius on June 07, 2005, 11:25:22 PM: well I think 8 soldiers + 1 officier + 1 guy with the flag (dont know how he is called :oops: ) + 1 drummer :lol: btw: it seems as if everyone tries to create soldiers from the Napoleonic period. Is that some kind of a fashion :?:

Nice job Gaius, can't wait to see them all lined up in a neat little row so one cannon shot can take them all out! ;)

Post by: de Warrens on June 15, 2005, 08:06:27 AM: I love the flag, it`s got a real `toysoldier´feel about it.

Post by: GaiusIulius on July 02, 2005, 06:52:48 PM: ok I finished my work now:

1 officer
1 drummer
1 flag
7 soldiers

Perhaps I will make a 8th soldier next week. The guns from de Warrens
inspired me and I painted them silver as well, it looks awesome! Im not sure wht I will customize in the next time. I think it will be either a Scottish soldier or some artillary men. Ok I talked to much :wink: have a look:

Very good !!

Post by: de Warrens on July 03, 2005, 11:21:19 AM: A very nice group! :)
It`s worth painting the muskets (I wasn`t the first to do it), it doesn`t take long and is very effective.

Post by: cheng on September 05, 2005, 11:53:24 AM: wow..your pictures are so huge...so much so that my PC has problem opening them...anyway i manged to see your last 2 photos...very nice!

i noticed tou painted the handles of your swords...i dont do that because sometimes i make them hold their swords...would you rather consider painting the sword sheaths?

your bayonets are also fitted at the tip of their rifles...i think thats more correct (i push my bayonets as far down as they go...somehow i preffer them that way...and they are not at the 6o'clock position as i was given to understand that the bayonet will interfere with the rods directly underneath the barrels)

its nice to compare notes with customisers like yourself...i'm still learning...so please advise me too if i'm wrong! :D

Post by: GaiusIulius on September 05, 2005, 05:23:58 PM: hey cheng. I think u r right in saying that I should paint the sword sheaths.
Ill check this out next weekend. Conecerning the bayonets I have also my own sort of putting them to the guns. Ive done it the way u suggest for all my life :lol: but about a year ago I tried to put them higheer and prefered that way. I dont exacxtly know why, perhaps the weapons look stronger then?! Can u post a link or so that I can admire some of ur soldiers? U can load them up at http://www.imageshack.us/ :wink: by the way its ur Internet connection that makes the pictures come slowly.

Greets Gaius

on the contrary Gaius,
your bayonet positioned at the ends of the rifles are more correct....apart from looking longer, they give your soldiers added advantage when fighting aganst mine :D ....like having longer arms/reach :D
(so i quickly i repositioned ALL of my bayonets last night...not without scratching off some paint while pulling them up the ends :( )

i have always wanted to share and show my playmo armies but i must find time to move them under the sunlight since my shelves are poorly litted...i'll try to find a weekend :)
